    Poll: What tires to buy 205/50/16

    I'm looking for a tire that performs well on the street in dry weather and, being in the bay area, I need a tire that also performs well in the wet.
    Let me know what you guys think.

    size: 205/50/16
    should I go with:

    1) Dunlop DZ101



    2) Toyo T1R



    3) Yokohama S.drive




    Any other suggestion you can think of?

    All of the above tires can be had for right around $100-$125 a piece so I'd like to stay around that price point.

    If you are not to conernd with tire wear I have dunlop Z1 star spec although they are not designed for wet weather I have found them to be fantastic in all conditions. Other wise I have heard only good reports about the yoko S drive.

        i need new tires as well in the same size. im considering either the Bridgestone re760's or the BFG G-force KDW's....Plus side on the Bridegstones is that Bridgestone is giving out a $75 american express gift card with the purchase of 4 new tires ;]

        BFG = better performace but loud ride
        Bridegstone = close performace with a nicer ride

        i cant decide =[

          I think I'm going to go with the S.drives.
          Those Continental Extreme Contact's get great ratings but are as expensive as the Dunlop Star Specs.
          Has anyone used the Firestone Firehawk Wide Oval Indy 500?
          They seems to get the best ratings on tirerack

            Yep. Suck royal moose cock.

            The DZ101 suck slightly less, followed by the other choices.

              My friend has S-drives on his audi. They are pertty stiff tires, alrightish in conditions. His have awful tire wear even with stock right height and alignment. It is wearing like he has +3 degrees camber when he has 0. This is only after a year too.
